I've been wanting to focus more on parenting here on my blog, but I have a hard time articulating what I've learned. Or maybe it's that this parenting gig is constantly changing and evolving.
Lately I've been inspired by Lisa at The Pennington Point. She's doing a series called "Intentionally Parenting Your Toddler". Pure gold, I tell you!
I love to see changes in ugly things--whether it's new grass after the brown of winter, a free beat-up dresser that becomes a beauty after a few coats of paint, or a life once in shambles that's worth living again. One of my favorite quotes in the Bible is Isaiah 61:3, specifically how God will "give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified." Now that's a life with meaning!
I am pretty sure you are probably a wonderful parent. It is a constant learning experience! Blessings- xo Diana
